Technology companies bridging the gap between smart tech and dolls to create sexbots who will also be your companion. So what will that mean for the things that define humanity. Our devices, our social engineering platforms, our social media are distancing ourselves to begin with then we’re going to have this thing. It’s not going to be a robot the way we think of, this is going to be something that looks so human, that will have texture and body warmth and that would sweat and perspire and with Artificial Intelligence will learn about you. Some people will love this by saying this is terrific because it will eliminate prostitution but what happens is that you cause the populations to decline. Ultimately speaking, at its worst, humans, males in particular, WE are going to loose our souls. This is transhumanism on steroids, this is about us, humans, loosing our connection with humans. We gotta start thinking. This is something to do with the fact that we’re taking the most important thing that we do human intimacy not sex, intimacy.

Rob’s bionic eye.

This man is Rob Spence and he makes films. No, literally, his body makes films. After a shootingaccident when he was 9, Rob had to have his eye surgically removed. But after jokingwith friends about having a robotic cyborg one installed instead, documentary makerRob actually went and did it.

“Pretty much anyone who loses an eye will make a joke. ‘At least I should have a camera put in there’ it’s not a wacky out of this world concept.

Years of hard work and research have left him with this, a tinycameraimplanted in his eye socket which transmits videoswirelessly to screens, Tvs, hard drives and cameras and it’s opened up a whole new perspective for him. Even getting him offers off and surprisingly secretcamera work.

“When very high upnewsexecutivessaid would I like to go toIrak with my prosthetic eye and see what I would see there because sometimes when you have a giant camera it’s not such a great idea in a war zone.

(voice over) “I recently travelled around the world …”

But insteadsci-fi found Bob went around the world making a documentary on an eyeborg alongside the makers of the computergameDeus Ex. That game features a Cyborg from thefuture. Here is one fromtoday.

Curiosityis what first shapes ourunderstanding of the world. Our sense of discovery is led by sight and touch. We think it’s time to return to that curious state. To explore and learn the way we once did. Visually. Blippar is a newway ofdiscovering the world. Of understanding moreabout our environments and the objectswithin them.But Blippar is more than just a new kind ofsearch. It’s a way forbrands to connect with their audience in the moment, by offering exciting, rewarding, magicalexperiences. It gives consumers more from their favourite products, deepening their bonds withthings they love, making evenreading a richer experience and turning the world into a learning playground. In fact everyone is becoming curious about Blippar, soon everything will be blippable.Revolutionizing the way we connect with objects, with brands and with eachother. And when we sayeverything, we really do meaneverything.

My name is Amanda Boxtel, I’m 43 years old. My accent is Australian yet (pourtant) I live in Basalt, Colorado. It was February 27th, 1992. I rode the chairlift (j’ai pris le télésiège) to the top of the mountain. I skied down to the flats on this intermediate blue run (piste bleue) and I stopped again and I looked down at the view and I just took off ( j’ai décollé) and within a few meters I crossed my tips ( croisé la pointe de mes skis) and I did a Summer salt (soleil). My back hit the ground beneath me ( en dessous de moi) I shattered ( brisé) 4 vertebrae in a split second, I felt this electric current it was just like turning off a light switch that zapped through my legs and it was ‘noise sound’ and then they crumbled on top of me and there was nothing. The most signifcant memory I have was that a couple of weeks later, when a young doctor strode into my hospital room and he said ( emotion) “Amanda, you’ll never walk again”. And I wanted to proove him wrong, so badly I wanted to prove him wrong and it’s taken me almost 20 years of living in a wheelchair to understand that hope (espoir) and acceptance (résignation) do and must coexist and with bionic technology my hope is real. The 1st time that I doned (tried) Ekso, I strapped the device on (j’ai enfilé le squelette) and I stood up! That was a defining moment (déterminant) , for the 1st time, in 18 years of paralysis, I walked. I walked with bent knees (plié), hilted toe hilted toe, one step after the other (pas après pas) , that was what I had dreamed for, for so long, I was living my dreams.
